A Sugar Shack in an Urban Setting!
The sugar shack was inaugurated in 1998. Every year, 1,000 maple trees are tapped in the traditional way, producing up to 400 litres of maple syrup. The “Action Vanier” group manages the sugar shack and offers traditional maple meals.
The sugar shack can accommodate up to 40 people and the volunteers who work there explain the steps taken to transform the sap into syrup. A small shop offers maple products and souvenirs.
Since the summer of 2007, the sugar shack stays open all year long. Several activities are held throughout the year: youth camps, guided tours and traditional meals.
The sugar shack’s products are available at the Vanier Museopark.
The Sugar Shack is open by reservation only and for a minimum of 15 people.
